The TOPS Program at The Ohio State University Nisonger Center offers individuals ages 18 and older with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) a unique opportunity to engage in academic coursework at Ohio State and gain meaningful work experiences while developing independent living skills and participating in campus and community organizations, social and volunteer activities and other events.

The TOPS Program is one of nine Comprehensive Transition and Postsecondary Programs in Ohio designed to support students with IDD who want to continue academic classes, career development, and independent living instruction at an institution of higher education in order to prepare for gainful employment.
